"All right." "It'll give an interest to a rotten match," said Dick. Tom rose to a point of order. "There's one objection. You, being a stodgy sort of bat, and having a habit of sitting on the splice, always get put in first. I'm a hitter, so they generally shove me in about fourth wicket.
'Well missed! exclaimed Mr. Sponge again. 'You're what they call a good shooter but a bad hitter. He meant to say 'saucy, but the word wouldn't rise. He then commenced reloading his gun, and lecturing P-o-o-n-to, who still continued his exertions, and inwardly anathematizing Mr. Sponge. He wished he had left him at home. Then recollecting Mrs.
The head of the batting list was up for Bellville, and the whole Bellville contingent on the side lines rose and yelled and cheered. Moore was a left handed hitter, who choked his bat up short, and poked at the ball. He was a good bunter, and swift on his feet.
There was another that interpreted the look from a different standpoint. Jennie Montgomery learned to realize Phillip Lawson's thoughts, and she felt that a yearning sympathy had arisen within herself; yet, she knew full well that her friend Josie was ignorant of anything which would suggest the song, and as she was going to ask the hitter for one of her favorites, Mr.

By evening all the forces of organized society were under arms, and the result was a formidable, apparently impregnable force. Nor was the widespread indignation against the shooting of James King of William entirely unalloyed by bitterness. King had been a hard hitter, an honest man, a true crusader; but in the heat of battle he had not always had time to make distinctions.
He presently swallowed more brandy, and while yet his head was at Gaston's shoulder, said: "You are a hard hitter. But you've certainly lost the game now." Here he made an effort, and with Gaston's assistance got to his feet. At that moment Falby entered to say that Sir William was not in the house. With a wave of the hand Gaston dismissed him.
Spears' clear voice, as he coached Rube, in its keen note seemed inevitable of another run. Ashwell took his stand. He was another left-hand hitter, and against a right-hand pitcher, in such circumstances as these, the most dangerous of men. Vane knew it. Ellis, the Bison captain knew it, as showed plainly in his signal to catch Rube at second.
Whereat there was a cry, in which were blended exultation at the hit, and vituperation of the hitter.
